Thank you!

AN: I want to let everyone know that until school lets out again, I shall be putting some of my stories on Hiatus. I'm giving everyone the ability to vote on what stories they want to have finished first. For more information or to vote please see my profile.

I would also like to ask that all of you review if possible, I find it hard to keep writing when I spend several hours on a chapter with no feedback I don't know what I'm doing right or wrong. I would like at least four to five reviews, I will not stop writing if I don't get the reviews, but it would make me feel better.

Chapter 21

Kagome sighed as she looked over her aunt Shouko's swollen body, her aunt's belly was really, really rounded. But her aunt was tired all the time and sometimes she winced like she was in pain, in fact today was one of those days and it made her feel bad because she couldn't help.

"Ahh, Kagome will you go get my glass of water from the table?" Shouko asked a small smile on her face.

Kagome nodded happily before doing as her aunt asked, getting the drink off the dresser she set it on the bedside table before climbing into bed with her very tired aunt. Konohamaru was taking his nap, while Uncle Misato was on a mission… her daddy and uncle Akihito were having a long talk about "spying missions" which she really didn't get.

Shouko chuckled when Kagome snuggled up around her swollen belly before beginning to stroke her silky black locks of hair that was something that she really enjoyed. It was also something that made her a little sad, she was going to have another little boy… she so dearly wanted a girl.

"Neee, do you like being a mommy?" Kagome asked her head was resting on Shouko's stomach listening to the cadence of the heart beats and enjoying the feeling of the small movements beneath her head.

Shouko blinked in surprise, "I do. I love being a mommy very much. Konohamaru is the light of my life." Shouko replied looking down at the tiny girl, sometimes she had to wonder what went through her mind. Yet at the same time, Kagome would go silent and still her eyes would go blank and it seemed she was trapped in the past with a woman who hated her.

"Why didn't my mommy love me?" Kagome asked, glancing up at the woman who was her aunt who made her feel happy and safe.

Shouko sighed, and wondered how long this particular question had been running around in the little girl's head. "I don't know Kagome. Sometimes certain ladies aren't meant to be mommies."

"Then why did she have me?" Kagome continued to question, it was something that bothered her.

"I suppose something inside her did love you… something she's probably not aware of loved you more than herself." Shouko continued rubbing the girls head and back.

"Do you think Kurenai will be my new mommy?" Kagome finally asked, burying her face against Shouko's swollen belly.

The elder Sarutobi woman blinked in surprise, "Why do you ask that Kagome?"

Kagome pouted, "Well, daddy and Kurenai kiss a lot and hug like you and Uncle Misato do, and they take me out to eat and play at the park… like you do with Ko-chan…" She wanted Kurenai to be her new mommy and she wanted to have little brothers and sisters like Ko-chan.

Shouko smiled softly, "Maybe you will baby." She tried not to laugh, her brother in law was very much in love with the chunin Kurenai, and indeed planned on marrying the woman it just seemed he hadn't gotten the guts to talk to Kagome about it.

"Auntie Shouko?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you," Kagome replied, snuggling closely up to her aunt.

Shouko grinned, "I love you to baby."

"I love Mommy and Kame-chan!" A little voice beside the bed piped up, both Sarutobi girls found themselves looking over the side of the bed to see a small brown haired boy with a sleepy grin on his face before he promptly climbed onto the highly framed bed.

Shouko nearly died laughing, for some reason or another Konohamaru had decided that Kame was easier to say than Kago, or Gome and thus decided to call his older cousin Kame. Which happened to mean turtle, not one person of their family members thought that fit the younger girl; Shikamaru on the other hand had died laughing the first time he'd heard it and happily told her that it perfectly… none of the family had seen the tiny blue eyed child blush that much at any time during her stay in Konoha.

Pulling the boy the rest of the way onto the bed she rolled onto her back and just smiled when two sets of warm small arms wrapped themselves around her, just above her belly. It was a wonderful and warm feeling of love, it didn't take long for Misato to find himself walking into the room to find his wife fast asleep on her back with Kagome on one side and Konohamaru on the other.

Sighing, he pulled Kagome up and chuckled when she whined like a kitten being taken away from her warm spot. The only reason he'd picked Kagome's side was that it had the most room for him to get in to; kicking off his sandals he slipped in next to his wife who was so very sleepy. Pushing an arm around he settled Kagome on his chest and it didn't take the girl anytime at all to squirm until she was wedged between the two of them.

Looking over his family he couldn't help but grin, Kagome was almost exactly like her dad. When they were children, he and Akihiko often times had to share a bed being a ninja didn't make you rich and his father didn't start making money until years after he became Hokage. Debt and Loans could overtake even the most careful of men, either way they would sleep together to keep warm at night… many times Asuma would crawl in between the two of them instead of their parents mainly because he could get away with being wedged nice and tight between his older warmer brothers, it was nice to know that some things didn't change.
